which is good, but I agree that they really need one for dengue because it seems to be extending its range the quickest.

I'm just glad dengue isn't expanding here in NM, although I'm sure it will eventually show up near the river. It's so dry here that mosquitos need to be a few hundred feet from the river in order to breed, standing water evaporates too quickly elsewhere.
